Education Reform

Mission: To Improve Student Performance in Nevada

EXPAND OPPORTUNITY THROUGH EDUCATION CHOICE

Enables parents to send their children to schools which best fit their needs.

Increases competition and competition improves performance by eliminating the public school monopoly.

Improves public schools by increasing per-pupil funding level which can be used to reduce class sizes and the teacher’s shortage.

Provides children from poor families the same opportunities as children from wealthy families.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Encourage systematic integration of vocational training into the educational curricula.

Provide education programs and job related skills for those students who are unlikely to attend college.

Address the needs of at-risk students who are most likely to excel in vocational educational programs.

LOCAL DECISION MAKING

Place decisions about education and spending at the local level with the prevailing input from parents and teachers, not administrative bureaucrats.

Provide parents who are responsible for their children with greater control over programs and curricula.

Reduce the negative impact of large public school systems such as CCSD which encourage unaccountability and bloated bureaucracy and seem more committed to perpetuating their existence and serving the needs of special interest groups as opposed to serving the educational needs of all children.
